July 19, 1978 i East Donegal H.S. 40th Reunion P Members of the East Donegal High School class of ’38 reunited at Hostetter’s Banquet Hall last Saturday evening. The reunion was planned by Miriam Acri, Minerva Irvin, Jay Gibble, Wilbur Geibe, and Lester and Anna Wolgemuth. Class vice president Jay Gibble was the M.C. Carrie Hooten came all the way from Richardson, im Horton honored [continued from page 1] majority of the people over a long period of time. I didn’t look just at today, but at tomorrow also. “Council tried to make Mount Joy a safe place for children with adequate supervised playground fa- cilities in summer. And we strived to give the people adequate police protection ...and keep taxes to a minimum.”’ Mr. Horton laughed after his remark about taxes, and explained, ‘‘The public didn’t always think we were doing that!” Sim is an amateur airplane pilot, a gardener (he has won numerous trophies for his roses), and an entrepreneur—he start- ed the third frozen food locker in the county here in Mount Joy, and was the first man to sell ice cream in 2-quart containers. “They said 1 was crazy when 1 talked about selling two quarts of ice cream at a time,”” he recalls. Sell them he did, though. What are Mount Joy's greatest problems today? we asked. In reply, Sim mentioned: “The bridges over the railroad are a big problem. They aren’t safe, and the railroad company will not fix them. “The fire department needs new and more adequate facilities. The old station is too small. ‘“‘Another thing is side- walks. Some of them really need fixing if they're going to be safe for pedestrians. They’ve been let go too long already.” In addition to serving on Council and its committees, including a stint as vice- president, Sim Horton is a past president of the Penn- sylvania Association of Farmer Cooperatives; a SS-year member of the Masonic Order; a 33-year member of the Mount Joy Rotary Club; a member of the Lancaster Men's Gar- den Club; an honoray member of the Friendship Fire Company; a member of St. Mark’s U.M. Church; and a member of the Leisure Club. In top of all this, Sim is an excellent woodworker. He has already built one grandfather clock, and is now putting the finishing touches on a second, identical, one. Texas, for the affair!

That ’ll teach the photographer a lesson When the Susquehanna Times photographer was walking down South Chestnut Street in Marietta last week, these young men demanded to be photographed. The photographer told them he would take their picture if they did something ‘‘interesting.”’ Inspired, the young people arranged themselves in position; the photographer crouched in the middle of the street; and with a ‘“‘whish’’ the skateboarders began lling down Chestnut Street! The photographer jumped out of the way at the last possible second, managing to capture not only the three daredevils in the forground, but also the stuntmen in back!
